SWEET Thanks!

alpinestar · 06-16-05, 12:33 AM

When are the DIYs gonna be up? Are you waiting for more to be made before hosting them? How many do we have already?

**JoNnErD154** · 06-16-05, 10:53 AM

They will be up soon, I'm still waiting to get a few more. We have about 5 right now, but only 2, maybe 3 TSX ones.

**JoNnErD154** · 06-17-05, 09:47 AM

I just got a chance to look at Alpinestar's DIY and I just need to say to everyone that it is beautiful, a true piece of art.

Thanks again!

alpinestar · 06-17-05, 01:39 PM

No problem, I'm glad to help

Hey JoNnErD154, I see your from C/S CO! Cool! Very nice TSX u have. I have some questions, if you don't mind. I'm thinking of trading in my MDX for a TSX ( or maybe another car). I don't need all that room,lack of mpg, & I don't tow anything anymore. I was curious about how the front wheel drive w/ traction control does in the snow we get sometimes here! Does it have good traction / feel to it? (I'm use to AWD in the MDX!) Any problems? MDX was pretty good, but had some small problems I had to have fixed.I'm looking for better gas mileage, lower payment. I drove a TSX, (loaner) 2 wks ago when I had the X in for some warranty work & was impressed with the ride. R U moding b/c of low HP / Tq or just BECAUSE!? thanks in advance for you imput.
PS. I'm from C/S also!

Hey, nice to meet someone else from the springs! The traction control system is pretty good and the car handles the snow quite nicely. I have never gotten stuck (even in that blizzard/ice storm we had back in febuary) and the only snow/ice related problem was when I lost rear end traction and hit a curb in the Broadmoor's roundabout.

I am modding my car because it's a LOT of fun and because more power is always nice. The car is peppy stock, but it could use a little work.

I'm leaving on Saturday but if you would like to meet up for a little while on Friday I would be cool with that. Shoot me a PM if you are interested. I could give you an owners view of the car that the guys at the dealership will skew.

Lrpba300 · 06-23-05, 12:16 AM

Hey, that would be cool maybe. I get off work at 5:00, & live way over on the East / Central side of town. I have another friend that owns a TSX, but we haven't been able to get together to really talk it over. He thinks I should get a TL again! I'll send ya a PM soon

**JoNnErD154** · 06-23-05, 10:58 AM

sounds like a plan!

Just noticed future mods on your post, before you blow your money on a throttle body rebore have a look at:
http://www.hondata.com/tuning_the_tsx.html

virtually no gains at all.

If I,m wrong and you know different let me know.

Yeah, I saw that but a guy on AZ had a much nicer set of dynos with a bore rather than the swap. I'm going to let a few more dynos with it done come out before I do anything with it. Thanks!

All this time I have never been to this borad, here is something I wrote for another site, its a write up on installing dynamat in a TSX

Awesome, thanks!

DMband0026 · 02-22-06, 04:20 PM

Would anyone be interested in a DIY for a complete exterior LED Replacement? I've already done the LED replacement and I took a lot of pictures of the procedure if anyone is interested in a write up.

Edit: I also have just installed a BlitzSafe HON/M Linke1 V.2X iPod adapter. This allows the TSX to retain its XM functionality while having a direct hookup and charger for the iPod. I'm not done fully mounting it but I was planning on snapping some pictures of the procedure that I'm using if anyone is interested.

**JoNnErD154** · 02-22-06, 06:54 PM

I'd be very interested in both if you are willing to write them up!
